Unable to start instance: "ImportError: cannot import name datetime"

[leowmjw]

When trying to start the Plone instance; fail as per below:

(virtualenv) vagrant@precise64:/vagrant$ ./bin/instance fg

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bin/instance", line 271, in <module>
    import plone.recipe.zope2instance.ctl
  File "/vagrant/eggs/plone.recipe.zope2instance-4.2.18-py2.7.egg/plone/recipe/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__)
  File "/vagrant/eggs/setuptools-18.5-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
    import plistlib
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/plistlib.py", line 62, in <module>
    import datetime
  File "/vagrant/eggs/DateTime-3.0.3-py2.7.egg/datetime/__init__.py", line 13, in <module>
    from DateTime import DateTime
  File "/vagrant/eggs/DateTime-3.0.3-py2.7.egg/datetime/DateTime.py", line 24, in <module>
    from datetime import datetime
  File "/vagrant/eggs/DateTime-3.0.3-py2.7.egg/datetime/datetime.py", line 24, in <module>
    from datetime import datetime
ImportError: cannot import name datetime

When try workaround to remove the conflicting datetime; continues but has import ConfigParser problem:

(virtualenv) vagrant@precise64:/vagrant$ mv eggs/DateTime-3.0.3-py2.7.egg /tmp/.
(virtualenv) vagrant@precise64:/vagrant$ ./bin/instance fg

is virtualenv in vagrant without site-packages?

[leowmjw]

Yup, I think so, virtualenv is automatically generated for me by Otto, any quick way to check from within the virtualenv?

@kaerumy Continues to fail; even when I exit the virtualenv and when I matched the setuptools version exactly
